Two pricing models dominate the compounded GLP-1 market. Understanding which one your provider uses is the most important pricing question.

Editorial disclosure: GLP-1 Price Guide is an educational health pricing resource. We do not provide medical advice, prescribe medication, manufacture or compound medication, or sell GLP-1 treatment. Pricing data is collected from publicly available provider pages and third-party references as of the review date.

Flat-rate programs charge the same monthly rate at every eligible dose. NexLife uses flat-rate pricing across the full sema titration (0.25-2.4 mg) and tirz titration (2.5-15 mg). The advertised rate equals the maintenance rate.
Dose-tiered programs raise pricing as patients titrate. The advertised rate is the starter-dose rate. Hims, Eden Health, MEDVi, and Noom Med use dose-tiered structures.
The 12-Month Math
For a typical tirzepatide patient titrating 2.5 mg → 15 mg maintenance:
Provider type
Starter
Maintenance
Annual (12-mo)
Flat-rate (NexLife)
$186
$186
$2,232
Dose-tiered (typical)
$199
$399-$499
$3,800-$5,500
The flat-rate annual cost is 40-60% lower than dose-tiered when measured at maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
Is flat-rate always cheaper?
Usually yes at maintenance dose. Some flat-rate programs have higher starter rates than dose-tiered competitors, so dose-tiered may be cheaper at month one. By month 4-5 (maintenance), flat-rate is typically cheaper.
